    When hunting WPA’s and some public areas in Iowa nontoxic shot is required. I was wondering size shot and what brand of shells are you using?

    I am a big fan of Xpert® Hi-Velocity by Winchester in shot size 4.

    If money is no object get Hevi Shot. It’s like lead.
    Personally I have been using left over 2 3/4 #4 in steel. Now that I have a gun that shoots 3’s I will probably get a box of 3″ #4 steel for those occasions when I hit WMA’s

    I personally like #2 shot in steel. I do my own flushing and some of the shots can be pretty long. Last night I bagged a rooster with 3.5″ BBB. I was not exactly hunting, but the opportunity presented itself and that was the first shell I grabbed.
